Helicobacter Pylori IgA

What Is Helicobacter Pylori?

Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium that infects the lining of the stomach. It is a common bacterial infection that often begins in childhood and can persist for years if not diagnosed and treated.

Health Issues Caused by H. Pylori

This bacterium is a major cause of various digestive conditions, including:

Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining

Peptic Ulcers: Painful sores in the stomach or upper small intestine

Indigestion and Bloating: Ongoing digestive discomfort

In some cases, long-term infection with H. pylori may contribute to more serious health risks, such as gastric cancer.
